Budget committee member Steven Steiner kicked off the discussion when he sought to reduce the school budget by $4,711,279.04, or 13 percent. John Colbath, selectmen's representative to the budget committee, said he thought the school did a good job with its budget. "The school budget is $894,978 over last year's budget," Klement said. It's the only logical way to get down to the state average or approximately the state average. The school board is not cutting a school, so find another place for the $1.2 million, or run for the school board and change the policy."
